Thanks for joining me!
Brenda Padilla Ericksen: I am a cross cultural trainer originally from the USA. I've been working with people from around the world for 30 years, living abroad (in Spain) for 25 of those years, and working as a journalist (print, radio and web) for 10 of those years. Cultural intelligence has been the theme of my life ever since I took my first Anthropology class in 1986. I have a degree in Spanish, and a passion for Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology and Philosophy - all mixed together and churned out in practical applications for culture-crossers around the world!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Brenda in such a clear and encouraging way! Quite interesting!
Am I right to conclude that intercultural competence provides specific principles and tactics to take your leadership to the next level in international environments, such as for example... the internet?
